Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2144: Companions on the Journey
Among the Immortals of Jade Bamboo Mountain, the strongest, Haoyue Fairy, is but at the fourth grade Heavenly Immortal Realm. Once Fang Bai releases the Immortal Venerable Realm Immortal Might, pressure weighs heavily upon them, their bodies involuntarily trembling.
When Qingzhu Fairy and the other female disciples heard their master mention "Immortal Venerable Realm," they stared at Fang Bai with eyes wide open, more shock and reverence visible in their expressions.
Haoyue Fairy, who was already aware of Fang Bai’s true identity, was so overwhelmed with excitement that she almost burst into tears of joy.
Although Haoyue Fairy didn’t know what kind of fortune Fang Bai had encountered, his cultivation level witnessing a miraculous rise within months, the stronger Fang Bai’s cultivation, the better results they would potentially achieve at Mount Sumeru.
If previously, Haoyue Fairy dared not harbor any hope for the Buddha Fruit on Mount Sumeru, now she sees great hope.
The fact that Fang Bai has an Innate Spiritual Root is undeniable, and his cultivation level has reached the Immortal Venerable Realm, meeting all conditions to participate in deciphering the Unparalleled Five Elements Formation. Once he picks the Buddha Fruit, Fang Bai can sweep away many opponents with his Immortal Venerable Realm strength and secure a Buddha Fruit during the subsequent battles.
Moreover, the faster Fang Bai’s cultivation level increases, the sooner he can rescue Fairy Linglong, who has self-imposed a seal for thousands of years, which is what Haoyue Fairy hopes for the most.
"I visited the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees and saw your master..."
Fang Bai transmitted his voice to Haoyue Fairy, seeing her eyes widen, lips quivering, seemingly more excited than before, he continued, "She is currently self-sealed within the Endless Abyss of the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees, surrounded by a powerful Defensive Array. Even an Immortal Emperor cannot break the array to desecrate her body..."
For the first time in a thousand years, Haoyue Fairy received accurate news about her master, and her eyes reddened uncontrollably, almost shedding tears. She forcibly suppressed her excitement, asking, "How is my master doing?"
Fang Bai replied, "From my observation, the seal within the Endless Abyss should be merely her body. Her essence, energy, and spirit might have formed a Taoist Fruit, but it’s unknown where it’s cultivating. If my cultivation achieves the Immortal Emperor Realm, then I might break the array, retrieve her body, and subsequently search for her Taoist Fruit. As long as the two unite, your master can be restored."
Understanding a bit about Taoist Fruits, Haoyue Fairy worriedly said, "If Master’s Taoist Fruit is damaged, then wouldn’t..."
Stopping herself, fearing that what she was about to say sounded ominous, she went silent with a gloomy look.
Fang Bai nodded and said, "If your master’s Taoist Fruit is destroyed, her body will fall into eternal slumber. Unless possessing the supreme secret technique that can alter the Space Law, rescuing her would be impossible. Hence, whether your master can be restored depends on her fate."
Haoyue Fairy remained stunned for a long while before sighing, clasping her hands together and praying silently.
Communicating using the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, Qingzhu Fairy and the Jade Bamboo Mountain disciples naturally didn’t hear a thing, otherwise, they would have been tremendously shocked.
"Let’s go, let’s visit the Bluewater Immortal Mansion first, then bring an ally, and head to Mount Sumeru together!"
The Buddha Fruit festival will gather Immortals from various Heavenly Domains of the Immortal Realm, and perhaps past acquaintances or Emperor’s Palace Descendants will appear, an opportunity Fang Bai doesn’t want to miss.
The Immortal Ape Great Sage Sun, subdued by Fang Bai, is currently at Bluewater Immortal Mansion. Fang Bai plans to bring him along to Mount Sumeru.
Great Sage Sun possesses the Innate Golden Spirit Root and is at the second grade Immortal Venerable Realm cultivation level, bringing him along adds confidence in the Buddha Fruit competition.
"Buddha Fruits are treasured in the Immortal Realm, immensely beneficial for Immortal cultivation. On our journey to Mount Sumeru, Qingzhu Fairy and I will spare no effort to compete. If we’re fortunate enough to obtain Buddha Fruits, everyone will have a share!"
Pausing, Fang Bai continued.
The Jade Bamboo Mountain disciples cheered upon hearing these words.
Since Bluewater Immortal Mansion was established by Fang Bai’s reincarnated disciple, Nvlang Venerable, to avoid the forces of the Eight Immortal Emperors, and ensure it doesn’t invite disaster, it remains extremely secretive, with very few Immortals in the Immortal Realm knowing of its existence.
Haoyue Fairy also hadn’t heard of Bluewater Immortal Mansion, although curious, refrained from asking further, knowing Fang Bai must have his reasons for visiting.
The Immortals soared upon the Auspicious Clouds and reached Bluewater Immortal Mansion within a day.
Despite the Concealment Formation shrouding the Bluewater Immortal Mansion, Fang Bai navigated smoothly, easily entering and meeting Nvlang Venerable and his disciples.
The Immortal Ape Great Sage Sun was among the Bluewater Immortal Mansion Immortals, delightedly stepping forward to pay great respect upon seeing master Fang Bai return.
Previously a first grade Immortal Venerable, after becoming Fang Bai’s disciple and receiving his guidance, Great Sage Sun quickly advanced, reaching the second grade Immortal Venerable Realm, completely submitting the once unruly Immortal Ape.
Jade Bamboo Mountain Immortals sensed the aura of the stronger Immortal Ape and felt astounded to see him pay disciple respects to Fang Bai.
Fang Bai smilingly introduced Great Sage Sun, and upon hearing this Immortal Ape was indeed a second grade Immortal Venerable Realm Expert, the Jade Bamboo Mountain Immortals were secretly astonished, puzzled why he willingly became Fang Bai’s disciple.
Only Nvlang Venerable and Haoyue Fairy, aware of Fang Bai’s true identity, understood the fortune it was for Great Sage Sun to be Fang Bai’s disciple.
Although Nvlang Venerable was also Fang Bai’s disciple, Fang Bai had instructed that he need not bow to him as a disciple among other Immortals, referring to him as an Immortal Friend suffices.
Feeling that calling the master as Immortal Friend was disrespectful, yet unable to disobey master’s words, upon Fang Bai’s arrival, Nvlang Venerable hesitantly clasped his fists and addressed him as "Immortal Friend Fang," his attitude exceedingly respectful, far from equals.
Excluding Haoyue Fairy, this demeanor confused the Jade Bamboo Mountain Immortals.
"Is Mount Sumeru’s Buddha Fruit festival about to begin again?"
Hearing Fang Bai mention Mount Sumeru’s Buddha Fruit festival, Nvlang Venerable counted with his fingers, eyes reflecting nostalgia.
Recalling that in his past life, his master visited Mount Sumeru, obtained Buddha Fruits, and distributed them to numerous disciples. He was fortunate to taste a bite and subsequently achieved a breakthrough, advancing a minor realm.
However, the optimal effect of consuming Buddha Fruits is one-time only.
For instance, having tasted Buddha Fruit, Nvlang Venerable’s subsequent consumption would yield no noticeable effect, rendering it a waste.
Yet for Fang Bai, who is reborn and Great Sage Sun, who never consumed Buddha Fruits, their effects are invaluable.
This is one reason Fang Bai decided to take Great Sage Sun to Mount Sumeru.
Due to Bluewater Immortal Mansion disciples needing to remain low-profile, Fang Bai only plans to bring Great Sage Sun this time.
Thus, Fang Bai, Great Sage Sun, and the Tu Mo three Immortals temporarily became Jade Bamboo Mountain "disciples," departing Bluewater Immortal Mansion with the Jade Bamboo Mountain Immortals to Mount Sumeru together.
At that time, Fang Bai, Qingzhu Fairy, and Great Sage Sun will represent Jade Bamboo Mountain in the Buddha Fruit festival.
